Under Yan Li's insistence, Luo Fangshuo had no choice but to bring Yan Li to the Moon Cliff on top of the waterfall at the back of the mountain.
Below them was an underground river that flowed down from the Heaven Lake, passing through a river cave. The Moon Cliff was right above this river cave.
If one took two steps forward, they would be able to see the magnificent scene of three thousand silver waterfalls pouring down.
However, even if you beat Yan Li to death, he would not dare to step over it.
"When my father was still alive, he loved to bring me here." Luo Fangshuo stood at the top of the waterfall and looked down. Amidst the rumbling of the water, he said with nostalgia, "He always said, 'Cultivation is like rowing a boat against the current. Cangjian Peak is going against the waterfall, which is especially difficult."
"I don't have much time," Yan Li said in a roundabout way.
"Ah!" Luo Fangshuo quickly turned around. "I couldn't help but …" He pointed at a cave in front of him and said, "It's very quiet here, suitable for seclusion. It's a place where we reflect on our mistakes when we make mistakes."
Yan Li followed the direction and saw an old cave that had been severely weathered. On both sides of the stone door, there was a stone tablet with a line of words carved on it. It read, "Don't talk about people's wrongs. Meditate and reflect on your mistakes."
On the stone door, there was another stone tablet with the words "Meditation Cave" carved on it.
He walked over and pushed open the stone door. The cave was filled with light and completely exposed to his eyes.
The inside of the cave was oval in shape and not very spacious. There was a low table and a few yellow orchids. On the opposite side, there was a simple bamboo bed without a quilt.
It was plain and simple.
It was suitable for seclusion and poison treatment.
Yan Li showed a satisfied expression. "Thank you."
Luo Fangshuo followed him in and said with a smile, "It's good that you like it, Junior Brother. I was afraid that you would dislike this place."
"It's fine as long as I can cultivate. I don't care about it," Yan Li said.
"Then I won't disturb Junior Brother's closed-door cultivation anymore. Remember to come back for dinner later." Luo Fangshuo cupped his fists. "Farewell." With that, he left.
"Senior Martial Brother, please wait." Yan Li hurriedly stopped him.
Luo Fangshuo stopped in his tracks, his whole body suddenly trembling.
"Senior Martial Brother?" Yan Li was startled.
Luo Fangshuo suddenly turned around and spoke incoherently in excitement, "That's, that's great! I finally have a junior brother! I've always been the youngest, but now that I'm no longer the youngest, they can no longer make fun of me …"
Yan Li couldn't help but roll his eyes. "They're not making fun of you because of your ranking, right?"
"What's the matter, Junior Brother?" Luo Fangshuo emphasized the word 'Junior Brother', his face beaming like a blooming flower.
Yan Li rolled his eyes and said, "Do you want me to call you Senior Martial Brother from now on?"
Luo Fangshuo widened his eyes and said, "I entered the sect twenty years earlier than you, isn't it natural for you to call me Senior Martial Brother?"
"That's not necessarily true." Yan Li crossed his arms and said in a frivolous manner, "As the saying goes, the skilled are the teachers, the strong are the priority. We're ranked according to our strength, do you think you can beat me?"
When Luo Fangshuo heard that he was going to fight, his face turned pale in fear, but he still forced himself to say, "You … you can't say that!"
"Cut the crap, if you want me to call you Senior Martial Brother from now on, you have to do me a favor today." Yan Li said.
"What favor?" Luo Fangshuo said.
"This time, I'll be in closed-door cultivation for two days at most. Senior Martial Brother, help me guard the door and don't let anyone in. During this period, no matter what happens, you must not open this door. Do you understand? "
Yan Li didn't allow anyone else to interfere, and he couldn't find a better candidate now.
Luo Fangshuo was stunned for a moment, and said, "Junior Martial Brother, what are you doing?"
"Don't worry so much, go and guard the door." Yan Li said.
"Who's the Senior Martial Brother here?" Luo Fangshuo mumbled, but when he thought of fighting with Yan Li, he didn't dare to do that. He quickly ran out and closed the stone door. "Then if Junior Martial Brother needs any help, just tell me. I'll guard the door and don't let anyone in."
"Okay."
…
When the stone door was closed, there was almost no light in the cave.
But when the stone door was closed, it also triggered a mechanism. Two wall candles moved out, one on the left and one on the right, and were automatically lit.
Yan Li took a yellow cattail hassock and sat down. First, he took out the items needed to dispel the curse and placed them in front of him.
The first item was naturally the jar that contained the Soul Devouring Butterfly larvae that were responsible for "sucking" blood, and was also the core to dispel the curse. As soon as he took it out, it kept vibrating.
This jar was not an ordinary jar. There was a talisman attached to it, and the inside was actually made according to the principle of "a mustard seed can contain a mountain". When insects entered it, they would automatically enter a dormant state to ensure that they could survive in the Interspatial Ring.
But the Soul Devouring Butterfly larvae were fierce in nature. Once they left the Interspatial Ring, they would wake up from their dormancy and be ready to devour people at any time.
Next was the Nine Turns Life Extending Pill.
He had seen the effect of this pill with his own eyes. Tang Sanghua had relied on this pill to survive. During the trip to Bu Luo City, he had accidentally obtained this pill, which was the most important condition for dispelling the curse. There was always a way.
He solemnly put the jade bottle down and heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, it was the blood ginseng that was full of vitality.
The blood ginseng was stored in a wooden box. This wooden box was also a treasure artifact that could lock the spiritual energy of the treasure without losing it.
When he opened the wooden box, he couldn't help but see the old and kind eyes of the blood ginseng. At this moment, there was a bit of desolation in the eyes that was about to face a tragic fate. People couldn't help but feel pity for it.
"Natural selection, survival of the fittest!" He took a deep breath. "Don't blame me."
Then he closed the lid and swept away all distracting thoughts. He sorted out the first part of the plan.
The first step was naturally to use the Soul Devouring Butterfly larvae to "draw blood."
Because of the urgency of time, there was no condition to test how strong the larvae's blood-sucking ability was. That was, how long it would take for the blood to be sucked dry. Therefore, the Nine Turns Life Extending Pill couldn't be taken too early.
There was a risk that the blood would be sucked dry and he would faint before he could take the Life Extending Pill. Therefore, he had to be very careful.
Would the method that only existed in theory work or not?
Let's gamble with our lives!
Yan Li made up his mind and took off the ring on his right hand that represented the identity of a member of the Moulin Rouge.
It was quiet all around. There wasn't even a trace of wind. There was only a slight "pop" sound when the candle burned.
The ring was taken off, but nothing happened.
The Black Blood Curse didn't trigger?
The medium was not the ring?
Or there was no curse at all?
He immediately rejected this judgment because this was the diagnosis made by Su Xingyu.
While he was thinking, his heart suddenly beat with a "thump" sound. It was like thunder in his ears, shaking his eardrums.
Not only his eardrums, but Luo Fangshuo's voice came from outside, "Junior brother, what happened?"
"I'm fine, don't come in!" After Yan Li shouted, he felt that the blood in his body was boiling like a raging flame. The energy from the blood was constantly dissipating, and his body was visibly swelling.
